[2026] BGM Playlist to Speed Up Your Year-End Big Clean [Have Fun and Get Sparkling!] (21–30)
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
This is a track with a sparkling, shimmering sound that feels great to listen to.
Released in September 2023, it was chosen as the opening theme for season 25 of the popular anime ONE PIECE.
It’s also included on the album Nautilus.
The music created by the four members of SEKAI NO OWARI seems imbued with a kind of magic that gives you energy.
Encouraged by Fukase’s clear, translucent vocals, it feels like even places you usually can’t bring yourself to tackle can be cleaned up.
It’s a wonderful cheer song that gently supports everyone taking on their big cleanup.
Ashura-chanAdo
If you want to keep up a brisk pace while doing a big clean, you’ll want to listen to upbeat tracks.
A perfect pick for that is Ado’s “Ashura-chan.” Released in 2021 as a digital-only single, it reached No.
7 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
It was also used as the theme song for the seventh season of the TV Asahi drama Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon.
Doesn’t that cool intro, with its driving brass section, make you feel fired up and ready to go?
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
Blast some fiery anime tunes, sing along, and make your whole house sparkle! This track by rock heroine LiSA was released in 2019 as her 15th single.
After being chosen as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, it became a huge hit.
The lyrics—saying that precisely because we’ve known sorrow, we can live strong—really stir your emotions.
The mixed-style sound arrangement is insanely cool, too.
Put this song on while you clean, and you might not be able to stop!
HANABIMr.Children
I think all of Mr.
Children’s classic songs make perfect background music, but how about the slightly mellow, pop ballad “HANABI”? Some people might think, fireworks in the dead of winter?! But year-end cleaning is something you do with gratitude for the past year.
Let it take you back to summer, and listen while thanking your fan and air conditioner!
ANTENNAMrs. GREEN APPLE
Lift your cleaning mood with lively sounds and uplifting lyrics! This track by the band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is included on their self-titled album released in July 2023.
Its compelling message conveys the value of living, with lyrics themed around self-acceptance and hope for the future that truly resonate.
With this positive song, even the usually tedious deep cleaning might become fun.
Sing along with the vacuum in hand and refresh both your room and your heart!
Nothing HelpsONE OK ROCK
Every ONE OK ROCK song’s intense rock sound feels like it would really get you in the zone for cleaning, doesn’t it? Among their tracks, “Nothing Helps,” released as a double A-side with “Deeper Deeper,” is especially recommended! Chosen as an image song for the video game “DmC Devil May Cry,” this track delivers that quintessential OOR ferocity that’s downright refreshing.
Just like the title “Nothing Helps,” even if no one pitches in for your big clean-up, the lyrics inspire you to “do it for someone,” making you think, “Alright, I’ll tough it out and get this cleaning done!”
24karats GOLD GENESISTHE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE
This track stands out with its energetic beat.
Released on CD on July 24, 2024, it made its debut during THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE’s arena tour “CyberHelix RX-16,” where it was very well received.
With the theme of “inheritance,” it sings about adapting to and evolving into a new era while carrying on the legacy of the past.
The inspiring lyrics, which convey the importance of pursuing dreams and cultivating inner strength, really hit home.
It’s perfect for lifting your mood while doing year-end cleaning!
